CHICAGO, April 4.-Before the spec
ial grand jury closed its INCLUSION Sat-
urday they prepared a lengthy me-
mortal to Governor Oglesby. The me-
mortal relates to the government of the
county and shows at great length how
q corrupt gang that have controlled the
county board for years past have
found 1t possible to rob the tax payers
and then asks the governor to use his
influence with the legislature to have
a law enacted to cover the deficiencies.
One thing needed, according to the me-
mortal, Is statutory provision for the
appointment of all county employees
As the law stands now the commits
sioners themselves, and of course all
other officials who are chosen by the peO-
pie are the only legal officials of a county
and thus are the only ones who can be
brought to task for the crime of bribery.
Wardens OF various county institu-
tions and army employees under them
have no statutory existence and the law
against bribery does not therefore
reach them. Eve found" said q
grand juror, ''that Wardens McGari-
gle, Varnell, and even Frey, were i'm
plicated in innumerable cases of
bribery. We had proof against them

for the crime because the law
as the states attorney construed it,
did not cover their cases. Now for in
stance, Robinson, the grocer, would
send consignment of goods to the
hospital with the bill or list, showing
the weight of each article. and the
storekeeper or warden, himself, would
reweigh everything, check up the gro
GERS list and then certify the bill to be
o X, even though everything was found
to be light from 10 to so per cent of the
weight charged for. Robinson, in his
confession, shows that he WAS doing
this sort of thing all the
time and also that he was
paving the wardens to o. K. his bills.
We considered that the wardens were
as guilty of bribery as the grocer, but
legally they could not be held for that
offense. However, we had recourse on
the conspiracy law, that proved to be
broad enough to cover everybody from
the mightiet man of the gang to the
meanest trooper in the ranks
"Were any recommendations made
relative to a change in the compost
ton Of commissioners" YES, sir;
We saw that it would be
next to impossible to get good business
men to have anything to do with the
position of commissioner as long as the
present method of payment is in vogue.
It Is not enough for the responsibility
Is great and the duties exacting. We
recommend an increase of salary in
keeping with the responsibility OF the
position.

One of the most striking results Of
the present war scare has been to di-
rect attention of almost every Euro
pean Government to its sources of
horse supply. Germany was the first
to take alarm. and last week issued an
edict that no more horses should be ex-
ported. Russia followed with q nkase
Of the same kind this week. and Aus
tria will follow their example imme-
diately. That France has no horses to
spare is well known. She recently
purchased 5000 in Denmark. and their
shipment to France was one of the in
cidents which frightened Germany into
issuing her edict against equine expor-
tation. The number OF horses required
by the two European armies when on a
war footing is astonishing. The num-
Der of those required for military pur-
poses even in time of peace is enOr-
nous. Little Belgium requires no less
that 5000 horses for the peace foot
ing of her army. II Germany were to
go to war she would want 396, 900 and
France at least $4,000. The Austrian
service calls for 202, 900, and Russia
exceeds all by requiring 100000.
These figures are taken from a little
work just published here on the organ
ization and equipment of foreign ar
mics, and their accuracy may be de-
pended upon. England is more desti-
tute of cavalry and artillery horses
than any of the great powers. A
writer in the Daily Telegraph recently
gives some interesting figures on this
subject. He states that in the event of
war England could not put two army
corps into the field without having at
least 10000 more half-breed horses
than she now possesses; and that If
war lasted six months she would re-
quire an additional reinforcement of at
least 10000 per month. There are
only 2,000,000 horses in Great Bri-
tain. and nearly all of these are draft.
hunting, and race horses, So that no
European country can come here to
buy its cavalry and artillery horses.
Russia has more horses than any other
country in the world. the number
amounting to over 23.o0O.000, but
since the export is prohibited Europe
can only look for fresh supplies to the
United States and CANDIDA. The latter
two countries have only $4,000, 900
horses, l2,G00,000 belonging to the
United States. None of the European
armies employ mules except those of
Spain and Portugal, where they are
used almost exclusively for the COM
missariat service. az they were in the
United States during the Civil War.
Italy and Switzerland have also small
number of mountain batteries horsed
by mules. The English War-Office
purchased large quantities Of mules in
America for her eoinmissariat service
when it looked as though she would go
to war with Russia eighteen months
ago. But they we're not satisfactory,
and were sold st anetian here in Lon
don at less than ore-fourth of their
cost.-L0RdoH !sperjd 10 Nes0 York

New YORK, April 5.-Despite the
SCOTS of those who have watched the
hitherto futile attempts of the great
railroad companies to do away with
ticket scalpers, the trunk lines seem
determined to enforce the recent order
stopping the payment of ticket COM
missions. To-day at meet
ing at the Office of Com
missioner Fink of general passenger
agents Of trunk lines it was decided
not to issue any through tickets over
any connecting line which refused to
join in the compact or fails to enforce
the new rule. A meeting of trunk line
superintendent is also in session. The
new interstate commerce law went in
to effect to-day and so far no
difficulty in regard to new rates has
arisen. At the Office of the Trunk
Line association in this city it is stated
the new rule is working satisfactorily,
but that some interests would be sure
TO conflict. These, however, were SO
trihing that they could be easily set
tied by agents. w. i. Malcolm, gen.
eral agent of the Santa Fe, and w. e.
Hall, general eastern agent of Southern
Pacific, also stated that the new law is
working evenly. New rates have been
posted In the depots according to law,
and the travelling public could see at
once what the various classificationS
are. The abolition of the free pass sys-
tenn is favorably received by that por-
ton of the public that did not come
under the privileges of the dead head
rule now defunct.
